Lahat ng Kabanata ng His To Own: Daddy's Secret Desires.: Kabanata 141 - Kabanata 150

IAN’S POVI stormed into my office, slamming the door shut behind me. My head was pounding, my heart racing. The meeting had been a disaster. The way they all looked at me—doubtful, disappointed, like I was already a sinking ship.Her voice echoed in my mind. "If you're unable to provide a satisfactory answer, be ready to resign."I let out a bitter laugh, running a hand through my hair. Resign? After everything I've done? She wanted me gone, wanted to strip me of everything, and the worst part? The board was actually considering it."I swear, I will kill you, Mary." I vowed. "I'll make you wish you didn't challenge me in the first place."I grabbed my smashed phone from the desk, my hands trembling with rage. I had to get control back. I had to move fast. I ripped the SIM card out, shoved it into another phone, and scrolled through my contacts until I found the name I needed... Dominic.He picked up on the third ring. "Where are you?""Ian?" His voice was cautious. "We are not meetin

EVAN'S POV.Lying in bed, I stared up at the ceiling, my heart pounding in my chest. I couldn’t believe I had just agreed to do this. Sneak into Mom’s room? Take Dad’s medication? "What if she caught me in the act? What would be my excuse?" Thoughts like this ran through my mind.I swallowed hard, gripping my blanket tightly. "But Dad needs those meds… and Ian promised to take me to him." I reminded myself.I turned to my side, squeezing my eyes shut. Maybe if I just went to sleep, this would all go away.But no matter how much I tried, sleep wouldn’t come. Ian’s words kept playing in my head. "Your dad might not get better without them."I took a deep breath and sat up. I had to do this. I had to be brave. Slowly, I slid out of bed, my legs feeling like jelly as I stood up."Okay, Evan. Just act normal, everything would be fine."Taking small, quiet steps, I made my way to Mom’s room. My hands were clammy, and my throat felt dry. 'What if she could see right through me?'I reached he

IAN'S POV.It was late in the evening when my phone buzzed. David’s name flashed across the screen.I quickly answered. "David?""Ian," he said, his voice low. "I’ve sent the analysis to your email. Check it out."I didn’t waste a second. "Thanks, man."I hung up and grabbed my laptop, opening my email as quickly as I could. My eyes scanned the screen as I opened the attachment.Just like I expected, the results were there in black and white. Alex’s medication had been swapped.I leaned back in my chair, a smile creeping across my face.“Gotcha, Mary.”I couldn’t help but feel a rush of satisfaction. This was it. The proof I needed to show her exactly who was in control. She thought she could outsmart me? Not this time.I rubbed my hands together, feeling the adrenaline surge through me. It was time to turn the tables.*MARY'S POV The moment I saw the email, I couldn’t believe my eyes. It said that Alex had revoked his power of attorney. I stared at the screen, my heart racing.“How

ALEX'S POV."Since, I'm settled, t's time to talk to Saraya," I told myself. "She would be surprised to know I've regained consciousness." I smiled at myself.At first, I wasn't bothered when her phone was switched off but when it stretched for three long hours, I began to get worried. Saraya isn't someone to keep her phone switched off for that long.My heart sank with each failed attempt. Just when I needed to talk to her, I couldn't reach her.I remember I have Gabby contact saved on my mail. I quickly typed her name in the search icon. My impatience was getting the best of me.The moment I got her contact, I dialled her number almost immediately.“Hello?” Her voice sounded groggy, like I’d woken her up. "Who is this?"“Gabby, it’s Alex." I revealed."Alex Newman?" She asked to be sure."Yes." I affirmed."You're awake?" She asked, surprised."Yes, I'm sorry for disturbing you but can I speak with Saraya?” I asked, going straight to the point while trying not to sound too impatien

IAN'S POV.The moment I recieved Dominic's call, sleep evaded me. "What does he mean by Saraya is back?"I paced round my room. "Alex is awake and Saraya is back, does this means my time is up?" I asked myself. "Though I found out what Mary did you cause Alex harm, seeing how much he is avoiding Mary, does he know what I know?" I asked myself."The adjourned meeting is in few days, I have to think of how best to use what I have to get what i want." I told myself."Stop being so calculative, Ian." A voice said in my head. "They are your family and could be in danger. Shouldn't their safety come first?""Their being in danger will help solidify your position, more than everyone, you should be the happiest if they're in danger." Another voice said."Just stop it." I screamed at the voices in my head. "I shouldn't just assume things, I should call Dominic again."I dialed Dominic’s number, my foot tapping impatiently against the floor. He picked up almost immediately, but the voice on the
